Our Great All-Rounder
Garlic has been cultivated for centuries not only for its medicinal properties but also for its unique ability to invigorate our taste buds and fortify our bodies. The more we study this special member of the lily family, the more we find out that garlic can help us in many different ways.
If we look to garlic's history we see it has always been one of those herbs considered a cure-all. Dioscorides, the Greek physician, recommended garlic for snake bites, rabid dog bites, bloodshot eyes, baldness, eczema, herpes, leprosy, scurvy, toothache, and dropsy. The English herbalist Culpeper reports a similar plethora of uses: "It provokes urine, and women's courses, helps the biting of mad dogs and other venomous creatures, kills worms in children, cuts and voids tough phlegm, purges the head, helps the lethargy, is a good preservative against and a remedy for any plague..."

Garlic can help the 500,000 Americans who develop Ulcers every year.

Out of 30 herbs screened by the University of Chicago, Garlic was one of the most successful to inhibit 15 different strains of helicobacter.
To answer your question, there are no specific dietary restrictions for ulcer patients. It is a common tale that people with ulcers should avoid spicy or strongly flavored foods, including garlic. There is no evidence that any specific type of food or dietary supplement interferes with the healing of ulcers. Gastroenterologists generally tell their patients to eat whatever their stomachs can tolerate. However, doctors do advise against drinking alcohol because it not only may slow the healing of ulcers, but can even make ulcers worse.
